I was particularly interested in the scene portraying Gavin Cato's father, Carmel. The scene was riveting and Anna Deavere Smith did an amazing job acting out the emotions of the character. To begin, the character walks slowly into a dark area with only a spotlight near the memorial of his son to cast dramatic tension and set an emotional tone. The hair of the Smith is messy and the clothes are dingy. This makes it seem as though the father has been so busy mourning the death of his son that he has not had time to take care of himself or this portrays the class of the family. The Cato family could have been rather poor with no money to dress neat or look neat. As the character speaks, he/she pauses between sentences and phrases, the shortness of breath correlates with the difficulty of the subject. It shows how torn the father is about the death of his son because it is hard for him to relive and describe the horrific death. Finally, the crying adds icing to the cake, it's progressive and realistic.
